I mean, I can imagine a world where there isn't to being a former erotic actress either. Used to be a stigma attached to being a (non-erotic) actor or actress, whereas today, we have very high-prestige actors.
But that world still requires people to have a skillset for their working life
like, that's kinda fundamental.
If you are successful as a content creator, whatever the platform, you have great marketing, communications and branding skills. How transferable do you want the skills to be?
Big if. Most aren't that successful.
I can imagine it too, but that's not the world we live in, and I don't think we will any time soon.
Well, it's hard to predict societal change, I think. I remember commenting that a lot of past futurism seemed to be a lot more accurate on technological change than it was on social change. Gender roles or clothing predictions aren't all that great, though what machines are doing can be at least in the ballpark. So I feel kind of on thin ice here.
But if you look at the article, the stigma doesn't seem to be showing up with the study participants:
If you look at what a lot of musicians do today in music videos, I'd say that it's not terribly far off softcore pornography. I've certainly seen softcore pornography in the past that was less-explicit than what a mainstream musician might be doing in music videos in 2025.
And I think that that's a shift that's been happening for a long time. Selling sexuality was part of what Michael Jackson did in the 1990s or Elvis did in the 1960s.
So my guess is that the trajectory is towards normalization. Can't say with any certainty that the trajectory will continue, though.
